“ Falsehood or goodness only start to generate the indignation or gratitude that they should normally always stimulate in us when they come from a woman whom we love, and physical desire has the marvellous power of setting a true value for the intellect as well as providing solid foundations for our moral life. ”
 Marcel Proust, The Fugitive (1925). copy citation
